Virgo/Community/Migrating from slices

Migrating from the dm Server slices prototype to the Virgo snaps prototype

Even though the slices project was a prototype, a number of dm Server users found it very useful and asked for it to be made available on Virgo. It is currently being renamed to "snaps" and contributed to Virgo.

There will be a one-time hit for users to migrate from slices to snaps, largely because of the renaming.

Samples

The Petclinic and Spring Travel based samples are not provided with snaps as they derive from code whose authorship is not clear.

Package Names

The Java package names of the code have been renamed from com.springsource.osgi.slices.* or org.eclipse.virgo.snaps.*.
